Sluneční bouře může ve vesmíru zabíjet. Posádka Artemis II má jen minuty na záchranu
V říjnu 1989 vychrlilo Slunce proud superrychlých protonů. Bouře trvala několik dní a donutila astronauty na palubě raketoplánu Atlantis, obíhajícího Zemi na nízké oběžné dráze, uchýlit se do stíněného krytu ve vnitřním prostoru lodi. I přes úkryt někteří členové posádky hlásili záblesky světla, které viděli, když vysokoenergetické částice narážely do jejich sítnice. Šlo o jednu z nejmocnějších záplav slunečních protonů, jaké kdy přístroje zaznamenaly.
Space weather can be deadly. Here’s how NASA protects the Artemis II crew. Original
In October 1989, a blast from the sun flung out a stream of super-powered protons. This solar storm lasted for days and forced astronauts working in low-Earth orbit, aboard NASA’s Atlantis space shuttle, to retreat to a shielded storm shelter in the farthest interior of the craft. Even while hunkered down, some of the crew reported seeing flashes of light as high-energy particles struck their retinas. It remains one of the biggest solar proton floods ever observed.

When Everything in the Universe Changed
The icon indicates free access to the linked research on JSTOR. For millions of years following the Big Bang, after the universe’s roiling soup of particles had cooled, the cosmos was a dark and boring place. There were no stars to make light. No familiar swirls of galaxies. Certainly no planets. And the entire universe was shrouded in neutral hydrogen gas. Then, perhaps 100 million years or so in, everything started to change.
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is ready to transform our understanding of the cosmos Original
High atop Chile’s 2,700-meter Cerro Pachón, the air is clear and dry, leaving few clouds to block the beautiful view of the stars. It’s here that the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will soon use a car-size 3,200-megapixel digital camera—the largest ever built—to produce a new map of the entire night sky every three days.

Europa is an icy ocean world-and NASA is finally going to explore it
For more than a quarter century, scientists have wanted to send a robot to explore Jupiter’s moon Europa. Now, it’s finally happening: A spacecraft bound for the icy world is scheduled to blast off from Kennedy Space Center on a SpaceX rocket sometime before November 6, after delay due to Hurricane Milton. NASA’s Europa Clipper mission will spend five and a half years cruising to the Jovian system and then conduct nearly 50 flybys of the enigmatic moon to investigate its many mysteries.

2 spacecraft caught the waves that might heat and accelerate the solar wind Original
A lucky alignment of two sun-studying spacecraft may have finally solved a decades-old solar mystery. Data from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter suggest that plasma waves known as Alfvén waves inject energy into the solar wind as it leaves the sun’s outer atmosphere, potentially explaining why the solar wind is so much hotter and faster than heliophysicists expect, researchers report August 29 in Science.

Human spaceflight’s new era is fraught with medical and ethical questions
They say that going to space changes you. Often, what’s being referenced is a shift in mindset, a renewed sense of perspective that comes from seeing our world from above, a phenomenon that’s been called the overview effect. But it seems unlikely that rocketing off into the atmosphere, experiencing powerful g-force acceleration followed by a sudden weightlessness, then exposure to increased radiation and the utterly exotic environment of low-Earth orbit, doesn’t affect the human body in some way.

Pluto’s heart-shaped basin might not hide an ocean after all
https://i0.wp.com/www.sciencenews.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/041824_am_Pluto_feat.jpeg?fit=800,450&ssl=1 Rather than a vast ocean, Pluto’s heart might be hiding a huge, heavy treasure. Computer simulations suggest that an object about 730 kilometers wide, slightly larger than the asteroid Vesta, could have slammed into the dwarf planet billions of years ago, forming the famous Sputnik Planitia and leaving behind a rocky remnant, researchers report April 15 in Nature Astronomy.

The moment the sun went behind the moon, the snapping turtles all simultaneously slipped into the waters of Lake Tawakoni. Twilight painted the world. Clouds raced across the sky. Just beside the moon-covered sun sat bright Jupiter, shining in the middle of the day. Most birds and insects had grown hushed or gone completely silent.

A new image reveals magnetic fields around our galaxy’s central black hole
Astronomers have gotten their best view yet of the magnetic fields around the gargantuan black hole at the center of the Milky Way. A new image reveals that the behemoth, named Sagittarius A*, is encircled by highly-ordered magnetic structures, researchers report in two papers published March 27 in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. The features are similar to ones previously seen surrounding the galaxy M87’s supermassive black hole (SN: 3/24/21).

NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter officially ends its mission on Mars
After nearly three years, NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter, the first spacecraft to undertake a powered flight on another world, has ended its mission. Officials at the agency confirmed on January 25 that the history-making quad-copter has sustained damage to one of its rotor blades and is no longer capable of flying. Ingenuity — Ginny to its friends — hitched along with NASA’s car-sized rover Perseverance as the rover landed on Mars in February 2021 (SN: 2/17/21).

Astronomers have snapped a new photo of the black hole in galaxy M87
Heads up space fans: A new picture of the supermassive black hole lurking in the galaxy M87 just dropped. The new image looks a lot like the previous, headline-grabbing shot revealed in 2019 (SN: 4/10/19). The main difference is that the brightest spot around the black hole has shifted counterclockwise by about 30 degrees, researchers report January 18 in Astronomy & Astrophysics. This is probably due to material sloshing around in the black hole’s accretion disk as it gets consumed.

Astronomers are puzzled over an enigmatic companion to a pulsar
Circling around a pulsar in our galaxy is a mysterious entity that is either a very heavy neutron star, one of the lightest black holes ever discovered, or an exotic and never-before-seen quasi-stellar object. The new finding comes from the MeerKAT Radio Telescope in South Africa, which carefully monitored 13 millisecond pulsars in a dense cluster of stars 40,000 light years from Earth.

The Biggest Questions: Are we alone in the universe? Original
In 1977, the New York Times published an article titled “Seeking an End to Cosmic Loneliness,” describing physicists’ attempts to pick up radio messages from aliens. The endeavor, known as the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), was still in its early stages, and its proponents were struggling to persuade their peers and Congress that the idea was worth funding.

A Very Basic Experiment Is Stumping the World's Best Physicists
This article was originally published in Quanta. It sounds like one of the easiest experiments possible: Take two cups of water: one hot, one cold. Place both in a freezer and note which one freezes first. Common sense suggests that the colder water will. But luminaries including Aristotle, René Descartes, and Sir Francis Bacon have all observed that hot water may actually cool more quickly. Likewise, plumbers report hot-water pipes bursting in subzero weather while cold ones remain intact.
